RajeshApril 27, 2010

Windows 7 is more stable than many of the earlier operating systems, but like all computers is can still have issues. Thankfully, if you create a Windows 7 system repair disc, you can fix many common Windows problems like a computer that won’t boot and other issues. This disc will allow you to boot into a Windows recovery environment to fix a Windows 7 boot problem, run memory diagnostics and restore the computer from a system image.

Creating a Windows 7 system repair disc is even more important today because many new notebooks and desktops do not come with a disc to perform common repair and recovery options in Windows 7. The good news is creating one is very straightforward and this guide will walk you through how to create a Windows 7 system repair disc.
